Top 4 skin care ingredients actually proven to help your skin

Life is your runway. You deserve to look and feel your best no matter where your day takes you. To keep your skin glowing, we are constantly at work at the forefront of the latest trends in skin care, and we're not afraid to get experimental to make sure you have access to the best beauty products on the market.

In this post, we're going to let you in on the top four skin care most promising, evidence-based skin care ingredients being used in the beauty industry today.

The Kakadu plum is native to Australia, where it is famous for its antioxidant, infection-fighting and anti-inflammatory properties. This wonder fruit has recently become one of the most sought-after skin care ingredients. What's so special about this little plum, you ask? Plenty. Here are a few of the reasons everyone's talking about the Kakadu plum:

Amazing anti-aging properties

Naturally fights pimples

Helps to heal UV-damaged skin

Fights off cancer cells

With nearly 100 times more vitamin C than an orangeand five times the antioxidant capabilities of blueberries, it is no wonder theKakadu plum has so many benefits for your skin. We've incorporated Kakadu plum into Runway Rogue lip care ingredients to make sure your lips are kept lusciously hydrated and healthy.

2. Caffeine

Caffeine can perk you up in more ways than one. Not only is it critical in your morning cup of coffee, but caffeine can also have transforming effects when incorporated into your daily skin care routine. That's why it's increasingly being added to eye creams.

Here's the low-down: While caffeinated beverages are great for adding a little pep to your step, caffeine has a totally different and equally awesome effect when applied topically. It activates vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels) on the top layer of the skin that you apply it to. So when you apply an eye cream that contains caffeine, the blood vessels in the top layer of your skin will constrict, and any under-eye circles andpuffiness will be reduced.

Jojoba oil is a naturally derived oil taken from the Jojoba plant, which is native to the southwestern United States. Just a little bit of this sweet-scented oil can go a long way - it's super hydrating! Jojoba oil has become so popular because even though it is an oil, it does not clog pores, making it ultra-versatile for skincare use. Jojoba oil has many uses, including:

Hydrating dry cuticles

Treating cracked skin on your hands and feet

Soothing eczema-affected skin

Soothing sunburned skin

Although great for overall skin hydration, jojoba oil is another ingredient that can really kick up your lip care routine a notch. That's why Runway Rogue features it in so many of our Runway Rogue lip care products.

4. Green and white tea

Teas are another ingredient you probably thought belonged only on your breakfast table. Although green and white teas have long been touted for their powerful antioxidant benefits when ingested, green and white tea extracts are also up and coming in the skincare industry for their ability to promote long-term moisture retention in your lips and skin.

At Runway Rogue, the only way we can constantly bring you beauty with attitude is to remain at the forefront of experimental skin care. These are just a few of the cutting edge ingredients incorporated by Runway Rogue that have been proven to help your skin and lips.
